5.00Be prepared to be gone for a whole day. One couple were in their late 70’s and found it a bit tiring. Rui was fabulous and entertaining, his knowledge of the history, area, and fun facts. Be aware you need to take a lot of water. We would recommend to anyone and everyone! Thanks Rui you were great. Arman and family.

5 Star Sintra Tour

5.00We had an incredible 5-star experience on our private tour to Sintra and the surrounding communities with Keith. From start to finish, he was exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing history, local insight, and interesting details that really brought each stop to life. What stood out most was how seamless everything felt, especially given our booking was made on very short notice. Despite the tight turnaround, Keith and the team organized everything perfectly and delivered a smooth, well-planned experience without any stress or confusion. Keith was friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about the region, which made the entire day even more enjoyable. He tailored the experience to what we wanted to see and made sure we got the most out of every moment. We would highly recommend Keith to anyone looking for a private tour in the Sintra area. Truly a 5-star experience from beginning to end.
